Vintage Taylor & Barrett Miniature Lead Owl with Yellow Eyes

Bright yellow eyes and a watchful expression, all in just 2.5 cm.

This miniature lead owl by Taylor & Barrett packs plenty of detail into a compact form. Hand painted in grey and white, his bright eyes stand out against the muted colouring, giving him an alert, slightly stern appearance.

Made in England, he represents the small animal figures of traditional British toy making. Light paint wear adds texture to the surface, with the painted details still giving definition to his tiny features.

Display him in a printer’s tray or miniature cabinet, where he can be appreciated up close. Beside a small framed photograph or other animal figures, he brings an unexpected woodland detail to a personal display.

A tiny piece of British toy history and an unusual vintage gift for an owl lover.
